Quick and easy caramel crème brulee recipe
Crème brûlée is a delicate creamy dessert with a crispy crust and caramel topping is usually made in ceramic or porcelain molds. It is quite simple to make - a milk custard is mixed with other ingredients and baked until golden brown, according to the YouTube channel VARGASAVOUR RECIPES.
Here's what you'll need to make crème brûlée:
- Sugar - 245g
- Water - 40ml
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
- Eggs - 5
- Milk - 320ml
- Flour - 30g
- Ceramic or glass ramekins - 5
- Large metal or glass baking dish
Directions:
Start by making the caramel. In a saucepan, pour 150g of sugar, add water and lemon juice. Place over low heat and bring to a boil, gently swirling the pan to prevent burning.

Once the caramel turns golden brown, pour it into the baking molds.

The next step is making the custard. For this, in a bowl with 1 egg yolk separated from the egg white, beat 3 more eggs, not separating the whites and yolks. Do not discard the remaining egg white, you'll need it later.
Add 60g of sugar and beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks.

Sift flour into the beaten egg whites through a sieve and very gently fold the mixture with a silicone spatula to preserve the airy texture. Then distribute it over the caramel and custard in the dishes.

Place the molds with the nearly finished crème brûlée in a large, preferably glass, baking dish, and pour hot water into it (the water level should be about 2 cm high).
